summer and roses

During the Chinese New Year, the family turned their backs on their backs, and what Lao Mu did finally retribution on himself.Mu Xia was still young, so he was deprived of the right to speak for the time being, but he stuck it on the bedroom door and listened to the noise of the circus from the seven aunts and the eight aunts, and summed up the main points.

In this so-called "family scandal" that finally shocked relatives in all directions, the parents on both sides quarreled upside down. The grandparents insisted on asking Lao Mu to leave the house, while the grandparents stubbornly opposed the divorce.The two sides demand different results, but their positions are unprecedentedly consistent.

Excluding some little girls who feel that the first love complex is romantic, the reality is always more spicy.No matter who Lao Mu and this Ms. Xu are entangled with, whoever pushes and gives up halfway, basically no one will speak for their so-called love.

Mu Xia was eating melon seeds, pretending to watch TV without distraction.

He couldn't tell what his mood was. After the initial anger almost subsided completely, he fell into a daze.The pain is not so much, it is just that the family problems that were not on the table before had to be smashed. He has no right to speak and can only accept it passively.

But Mucha felt that he had a better psychological quality than Liang Ning, at least he cried before halfway through his speech.

He was thinking about making a call to You Yi, when suddenly there was a woman on the sofa beside him, and she handed him half of an apple: "Hey, Xia Xia, eat something. I haven't seen you eating for dinner yet."

Mucha recognizes that this is her own aunt, she doesn't have much contact with her in normal times, she only remembers that she is a nice person, but she occasionally slurs when she speaks.He picked it up respectfully: "Thank you, Auntie."

The aunt smiled: "It doesn't matter, let's chat casually. This time there is such a big trouble, are your parents planning to divorce?"

Biting the apple became unpleasant, Mu Xia held the phone and rubbed the edge, what she was thinking was none of your business, she couldn't show it on her face, she answered absent-mindedly with lowered eyelids: "I don't know."

Maybe his expression was unsatisfactory, and my aunt immediately got excited: "If... Auntie said, if, if you get divorced, who is Xia Xia going to marry? Your grandfather's family is so rich."

"I haven't thought about it." Mucha said, "It's not up to me."

Aunt: "They will definitely consider your opinion...Xia Xia, do you think they ever separated?"

Mucha was silent, he didn't answer, the aunt said to herself: "Let me tell you, Ah Ning is also busy with photography and travels outside all day long. Your father is so busy with work, he even eats hot food when he comes home It's normal to feel uncomfortable even if you can't eat. Besides, when a woman is married, she should think more about her family..."

"You mean it's my mother's fault?" Mucha interrupted the aunt without raising her phone.

Suddenly there was a reaction, the little aunt was stunned for a moment, and then she began to smile: "Auntie didn't mean that, you kid... You didn't do it right in the first place, or Ah Ning took care of the child at home and didn't go here and there all the time. Big brother won't go to that woman, don't you think?"

Mucha frowned, and tried her best to suppress the anger: "Auntie, don't talk anymore, I will never agree to their divorce."

After listening to his answer, the aunt moved closer and took a piece of coconut candy to eat, and persuaded vaguely: "Xia Xia, Auntie has a heartfelt message for you. The child is the son of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will not leave it alone. After a while, both my sister-in-law and you are uncomfortable. Everyone lives like this...why bother? Either, persuade Ah Ning, your mother listens to you the most. "

Mucha: "..."

Aunt: "Everyone is in such an embarrassing situation now, your grandpa insists that your eldest brother leave the house. He has been earning all the money these years, how is it possible! Take ten thousand steps back, Ah Ning's beautiful family has good conditions, A daughter in a big city can find a good one even if she is divorced, don’t hang on a tree—”

Before she finished speaking, Mu Xia stood up abruptly, and before he finished eating the apple in his hand, he threw it into the trash can next to him, making a loud "boom", which attracted several relatives in the living room on the other side to look over.

New Year's Eve is a good time for family reunion, and Mucha doesn't want to embarrass anyone.

"I think you all want my dad to get divorced and find someone surnamed Xu, right? She poured the ecstasy soup for you together, and started talking for her before entering the door. It's amazing. Fortunately, my mother gave birth to a son. If I were a daughter, Maybe no matter how you persuade them to leave, I will have to give way if there are many children, I am sorry that I have not learned this truth!"

Mucha's words are not unpleasant, but he can also feel that he is in a bad mood. After all these years, Mucha doesn't like to talk to people, and no one knows that he can still lose his temper with his elders.

The scene was stalemate for a moment, and the aunt forced a smile: "Xia Xia, isn't auntie..."

Mucha picked up the backpack next to him and patted it: "I told you in front of you today that Lao Mu has done this wrong for many years, and my mother has never cried or complained in front of everyone. Knowing that there is a child, then So what? As long as I'm still in this house for a day, the person surnamed Xu won't be able to enter the house!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the expressions of his relatives, went straight upstairs, closed the bedroom door too hard, and didn't hear the voice downstairs for a long time.

The family lived in a duplex high-rise, but after they moved to City B, they let their grandparents live. Because there are so many rooms, this time when they returned home, they found that there were some inexplicable relatives who occupied them carelessly and did not regard themselves as outsiders.

In fact, when buying the house, my grandfather helped pay the down payment-no one knew.

Just like his family's messy relationship, everyone only said that Lao Mu started a company as the boss, and cooperated with this or that big boss, flying all over the world, looking around, thinking that he was raising Liang Ning's mother and son.If you really want to settle the accounts carefully, Mucha's mother is definitely not a housewife who is supported by a man, at least she can maintain a decent life after divorce.

Mucha lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, sighed at this thought, turned over to get the phone.

There was a hand-painted portrait of a little tiger on the top of the chat box, Mu Xia clicked in, but couldn't find anything to say for a long time, so he had to send a sad frog.

The reply was quick, with only question marks, You Yi seemed to be afraid that Mu Xia would be depressed if he replied too slowly, every time he agreed to him in seconds before talking about other things.

"Can I have a voice link?" Mucha asked.

"I'm looking for a quiet place, and they're playing mahjong next to me."

Mucha said I'll wait for you, he covered his head with the quilt, and emptied himself in the darkness.

The weather in City G is better than that of You Cruise. It is sunny every day. He only needs to wear a sweater and a coat to survive the whole winter.

Mu Xia's heart was very cold. In comparison, even the long-lasting fog in the school morning was warmer.

When the voice dialed, Mucha felt saved.He finally caught his breath, and the impolite yelling at the elders downstairs at the moment he picked up the phone to connect it gradually became real.

"Mi Chong." You You called him, with a little smile, "Happy New Year."

Mucha couldn't help laughing along with him: "It's not even midnight yet, so what are you saying for Chinese New Year? What are you doing?"

He grasped the direction of the topic so that You Yi would not think about it and ask questions.Sure enough, You Yi was distracted and told him about his family's plans for the New Year. Grandpa made bacon sausages. Sister Yan finally introduced Mr. Yuan to her family as her brother-in-law. My parents went to Southeast Asia from Amazon, so there is no time difference. a lot of……

Every time he said something, Mu Xia would say "hmm", he listened very carefully, felt a little envious, and sighed.

This sigh did not escape You Yi's ears, the boy who was talking about his cousin being urged to marry stopped and asked him: "Is your family all right, did you cause any trouble?"

Mucha: "No, who do you think I am?"

You Yi: "Why do I not believe this, Brother Xia, it's not your style to keep yourself safe."

He thought to himself that you should be fooling around, but he didn't really want to lie to him anymore, so he omitted the other parts and said simply: "I just yelled at my aunt, she has a fool in her head, and told me to persuade my parents to divorce so that my father can marry her." The girl came in."

Apparently You Yi didn't expect the words to come true, he was drinking water, choked to death by Mu Xia's words.Mu Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and ran along his hair from thousands of miles away: "Hey, what, didn't you say that I was restless and self-reliant, this matter is worth your alarm? Don't... Brother You, take it easy."

After listening to the movement of cruising over there for a long time, it seemed that he finally recovered, and took another sip of water: "You are really talented."

Mucha said cheekily: "I'm ashamed, I've lived up to your expectations."

You Yi: "But you really can't get in the way of this matter, I think... You should try to persuade Auntie, don't be too sad, it's really not worth it. We still have to think about things in the future, right, anyway..."

"My dad is a scumbag." Mucha continued with a smile. He said this sentence without any psychological barriers, and then added seriously, "But let them solve the rest by themselves. I have to study hard."

You Yi said "Oh": "You're lying to ghosts."

His clear tone made Mucha laugh out loud, covering herself under the quilt, as if she was suddenly far away from all the troubles.This feeling is so good, he has a safe haven, drifting back to wandering, uneasy and still uneasy, but he will no longer be at a loss.

"When will you come back?" You Yi murmured, "I've missed you a lot these days, I'm not used to it."

Mucha: "I'm not used to no one sleeping with you and grabbing your quilt, right?"

"A little bit." You Yi laughed muffledly, he could vaguely hear noisy words and the movement of the Spring Festival Gala on TV as the background music, "I'll go to the grave with them tomorrow, and I'll be fine after that...I miss you."

One mouthful and one miss, Mu Xia would probably feel annoyed if it were someone else, but now he is not only not annoyed, he is also itching to be shouted every sentence, wishing to grow wings immediately and return to his little boyfriend.

Just hugging, with the head resting on the shoulders, the legs entwined, and not doing anything else is enough.

"In a few days, wash it up and wait for me." Mucha said pretending to be serious.

He did what he said, the New Year at home was boring, and the flower market that he liked before was also boring.

Mucha had a long talk with his mother, and for the time being, he calmed down the fragile and sensitive Ms. Liang.Perhaps after this incident, the relatives who had previously selectively pretended to be deaf and dumb changed their positions overnight. Many people secretly felt that extramarital affairs did not matter, but once they had a child, they blamed the man and the mistress instead.

Liang Ning was not as broken as Mu Xia imagined, she came from a great family and was a lady.A good upbringing doesn't allow her to break up with her aunt surnamed Xu, but it's more than enough to control Lao Mu.

The elders put pressure together, and then they reluctantly reached an agreement, and each took a step back: Lao Mu gave the woman and the child some money on time, to maintain the basic life, and signed an agreement with Liang Ning, and if there is similar behavior, regardless of the consequences, he will leave the house , the house and the car all belong to Mucha, and he has to pay a huge amount of child support every year.

Old Mu loves money, even if he doesn't care, the group of relatives who lie on their own family and suck blood may not want to give up the small high-rise house.Mu Xia later heard that this idea was thought up by a best friend of her mother, she was in awe, and only felt that it was a good thing that she didn't like girls.

It was decided long ago that he would go back early, and Mucha boarded the plane alone on the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Didn't tell You Yi the specific flight, Mu Xia was afraid that he would run directly to the airport to wait for him, and staged a scene of catching a horse.He couldn't stand this, so he simply went to You Yi's house by himself after landing.

In the moist, somewhat cold air, Mucha took a deep breath, and the exhaustion of a year's festival disappeared.

He took a taxi and sent You Yi a WeChat message: "Are you at home?"

"Yes, I just cooked a bowl of noodles and I'm eating them." You You felt that the words were not convincing, so he sent another picture.

There are not only noodles but also roasted pork ribs in the white porcelain bowl, with a few green vegetable leaves as a symbol—you are very southern in this regard, no matter what you eat, you have to have a plate of green vegetables, even if he only eats two bites.

Before the plane meal had time to eat, Mucha swallowed subconsciously, as if imagining the taste of noodles, and typed with a flick of her finger: "Did you cook the ribs?"

You Yi: "Hahaha, how is it possible, Mr. Yuan made it, and I have lunch at their house at noon."

Mucha: "Then, is there any left?"

Youyou finally realized belatedly: "Are you back?"

He glanced at the street scene outside, the city at night was a little strange, he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, and he didn't know that it was a few minutes' drive away from You Yi's house, so he had to smile.

"Really? Really?" You Yi was suddenly excited, "Why didn't you tell me, let me pick you up! You come here now, just by yourself? I'll cook another small pot, what else do you want to eat?"

This person was out of breath while chatting, and he sent a paragraph several times. The phone kept vibrating, and a few small question marks popped up intermittently.Mucha waited for him to finish before going back one after another.

Really.

You don't need to pick it up.

Myself.

You can do anything.

He sent out all the messages, changed his profile picture to a cat with a heart on his head, and added: "I miss you too." Seeing that there was no reply from You Yi, one could imagine him running to tidy up the bed.

It's so sweet, Mucha pursed her lips, and couldn't wait to take a bite.

When he stood in front of You Yi's house again, Mucha was actually nervous, he thought it was a timid feeling close to home.The wind in the corridor made his hands and feet cold. He underestimated the temperature difference between here and G City. He ran here wearing a coat. He didn't feel it all the way in the car, and his brain was frozen in just a few short steps.

Mucha raised her hand and knocked on the door, before she knocked a second time, she heard light footsteps coming from inside the room.

"Damn!" A cry of pain, and then the door opened, You You covered his knees and looked up at him.

"What happened?" Mucha asked, went in and put the bag on the ground first, changed slippers consciously, kept her eyes on You Yi, watching him leaning against the wall and rubbing his knees.

You Yi aggrievedly pointed at the coffee table: "When I ran over, I bumped into the side."

Mucha nodded and packed his things slowly. He took off his coat, grabbed a down jacket that was placed in the entrance and put it on outside.His heart was beating fast, and he couldn't make a sound as if something was blocked in his throat. He had to squat down and open the backpack, and took out the iPad and a draft from it, and then slowly got up.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, the hallway was narrow, and the sound of breathing intertwined.

The water in the kitchen boiled, gurgling.

The heart is not beating wildly at one frequency, thumping.

"How silly." Mu Xia said, raised his arms to hug You Yi, before continuing, the other party suddenly pinched his face.

You Yi came up to kiss him, with a little unfamiliar movement, the tongue swam over the obstacles of his lips and teeth, and smoothly hooked away his soul.Mucha came back to his senses and was pressed against the wall by him, his eyelashes flickered very close to his eyes, and the light in his eyes leaked occasionally, making Mucha dizzy.

They kissed until they had exhausted each other's breath, before You You let him go panting, and wiped the corners of his lips.

His face was flushed, and he rubbed his ears: "I'll cook you supper... There are no noodles. I just went downstairs and bought frozen dumplings at the supermarket. You should eat them, right?"

Mu Xia's knee touched the place he bumped just now, and rubbed lightly: "Eat them all, don't pick."

"Also, I bought you a present." You You said, his tone shy and his eyes shifted, and he pouted at a box under the coffee table, "Go open it yourself, I think you should like it—go to the kitchen."

His back was still limping when he was walking, so it was estimated that he had been hit hard.

Mucha touched his lips, one of them was broken, every time he and You Yi kissed, it was like a fight to vent.But only this kind of strength made him feel almost abnormally satisfied.

Walking over according to the words, Mucha took out the black box under the coffee table, he was already slightly surprised before opening it.

It's a brand new tablet.

"Hey, I usually don't want to go to class and can only draw by hand. If I buy a digital board, I can play board drawing at home." He said this while lying on Youyou's lap, covering his eyes with a piece of white paper. I don’t know if I can charge a profit, but I can’t afford it if I charge it...they get 10 and 50 fucking dollars, and if I can charge 100, I’ll be thankful.”

What You Yi said back then, he was laughing, laughing that Mu Xia received too little red envelopes, then straightened his eyebrows, inserted his fingers into his hair, stroked the limp hair, and read the textbook page by page.

"It's okay, I have a lot of lucky money, I'll buy you one to play with when the time comes."

I really bought it.

Mucha took the box, put it aside, and ran into the kitchen with three jumps.You Yi was serving soup when he was caught off guard by someone hugging him from behind, and an extra koala was hanging on his body out of thin air, almost scalding his hands by the hot soup.

"Hey hey...what are you doing, are you sick again?" You Yi raised his hand to hit him.

Being held and kissed by fingers, Mucha's voice was a little choked up, but it was fleeting, just like his illusion: "Thank you, baby, I really like you so much."

"Liar, you just like digital tablets."

"No, I like you the most."

After Mucha finished speaking, he sniffed: "... Are the dumplings ready to eat?"

Before the New Year's Eve was over, he came back here again, it was humid and cold, and with the warm lights on, he hugged his boyfriend, making him feel like a small room back home, with a bowl of steaming dumplings.

Quick frozen is also delicious.
